Authors Note: For those who have not read my bio, please note I write as a form of therapy for a Traumatic Brain Injury. I know the English majors will probably encounter issues that annoy them. If these are your focus, instead of the story itself, then this is not the story for you. I am not and will never be a professional writer.
I do it to tell the story, for those who wish to read them. I originally submitted this story back in mid-2017 to mid-2018. I have worked to try and improve my writing style while struggling with this issue. I have added some editing software and written a few other stories. Now I am revising and editing this earlier work to try and bring it up to a higher standard from what I have managed to learn over the last few years.
Chapter 19
Drinking From The Waterfall
Eldar, Annette, Charlemagne, and Royal Guard New Moon headed into the merchant district unmolested and found themselves at enchanters' row. Four shops each with a different specialization. He looked around, "We are looking for cloaks!"
Guard New Moon pointed and they headed inside. A female Moon Elf, approached, "Can I help you find something?"
Eldar looked at her, "Enchanted protection cloaks."
She smiles, "Just for the three of you?"
Eldar shook his head, "No I am looking for 12 of them. What do you have?" She walked to the back. "Black or dark gray in color whichever one we can get all of them in."
She looked through to see what she had, "I have 3 third-tier in black and 10 second-tier black or I got the first-tier I could get you all 12 cloaks."
Eldar asked, "Do you have anything above mid-tier?"
She shook her head, "Not in stock."
Eldar looked at her, "Can these be embroidered magically and quickly?"
The lady sighed, 'Everyone is in a hurry. What does the design look like?"
He smiled, "Several elements and I need to make them exclusive so that an officer Captain or above can order them."
She looked at him, "Army unit?"
Eldar shook his head, "Mercenary company working for the first cross-border protection treaty implementation."
She nodded, "What element combination are you wanting to make exclusive?" He started listing them. "The double crescent with a longsword in silver and dark gray at an angle so the moonlight is reflecting off the silvery side. I am going to pull my weapon to show you.
Eldar,
"Karti'Ros left hand.
Please do not touch I do not want you to die from it."
She looks at it, "A Moon Blade!"
He nodded, "I am having swords made in a similar gray color; adamantine, mithril, and steel versions. Now I need all of the third-tier cloaks. Then nine of the second-tier. I have one issue though. I have a member who is into acrobatics. Any way to keep it constrained to the back and keep them from falling to gravity?"
She pondered, "We could ring it with a belt. let me talk with one of the enchanters."
The enchanter came out, "What is it this person does?"
Eldar noticed they held hands briefly when she got him. Eldar laughed, "She is a human archer in my company. She can shoot very accurately from horseback. Shooting behind her. She uses a special saddle and rotates down the right side of her horse with her legs locked onto the horn. From this saddle, she shoots upside down into the center of a target.
Up to 200 feet accurately. Maybe further. I found her leading a giant in this method. She can right herself as well. Special saddle well-trained horses. I want her to train Arcane Archers with this ability as part of my mercenary company. The cloak needs to not interfere with her shots."
He shook his head, "You are looking at the wrong item. You want a heraldry sash if she is light or no armor for what she is doing then that would work as it can be attached front and back on the belt and leave her arms free and it would not move. Let me check to see if we have one. You are in luck I have one enchanted to second-tier in black..."
He looked at the table and his sword, "Wow."
Eldar grasped his sword, "I told your associate that I am having a couple of hundred gray blades being crafted. Moon Blade has the consignment and the raw mithril and adamantium ore in hand to make the blades. That brings me back to the 3 tier-three cloaks. I also need a House Silvertree symbol displayed on the middle to the bottom half. One of the tier threes will not have a sword instead it should have quill and ink.
The same angle and colors. is for our administrator for the town we are building. I would need a rush on them. I need them before mid-meal tomorrow as we have an Academy-wide assembly after the mid-day meal with the Queen. Can it be done? Give me a figure and we have the Queen's discount that can be applied as well. That is why we have a Royal Guard with us."
The Girl spoke, "We are talking 3 third-tier. Two with this we are calling 'Gray Blade symbol' and one with a quill and ink symbol instead of a sword and all 3 of those with the House Silvertree symbol below that. Correct?"
